Posters: if you are presenting a poster: please bring a poster that is in portrait format (no landscape) and max. size A1.

Presentations: all sessions are 90 minutes long. Some sessions have three presenters, some have four. If you are in a session with three, you will have approx. 25-30 minutes, including presentation and questions. If you are allocated to a session with four presenters, you will have approx. 20 minutes, including questions. Please check the final programme once available, as the number of presenters in your session might still change.

Publication plans: we are behind with the evaluation of the draft papers received from you in the previous weeks. We expect to make the selection closer to the date of the conference (immediately before or after), hence the full papers (from those selected) will be expected after the conference. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Food at the conference: we are proud to announce that all food served at the conference venue (Technocentre) will be organic, and that the food served during the social event (The Hub) will be local and provided by local farmers.

As we are back from holidays, we are working at the programme. We aim to have a final version by the end of September, and to circulate instructions for authors (posters, discussions, worshops and paper presentations) the first week of October at the latest. If you haven’t registered for the conference, please do so urgently!

On the 1st of June we have accepted 147 abstracts and notified the authors and co-authors. If you have submitted to the conference and haven’t received a notification from us, please get in touch (but check your spam folder first). Registrations opened on the 1st of June. Early birds registration ends on the 15th July.
